Fantasy Tip: Sanders has been a main factor in the passing game over the last several games and has been targeted at least eight times in each of the last five games. He probably will lose some of his value with Paxton Lynch as the starting quarterback but should still be a No. 3 receiver.

Fantasy Tip: Sanders is coming off an impressive 162-yard performance in Week 12 and has received at least eight targets in each of his last five games. He should be a solid No. 2 or No. 3 receiver in all leagues even if Trevor Siemian is not able to play.

Fantasy Tip: It's the first time he has reached pay dirt since Week 4 and the first time he has topped 100 yards since Week 3. The Jacksonville Jaguars have been really good against opposing WRs the last five weeks, so he'll have his hands full as a low-end WR2 next week.

Fantasy Tip: Sanders has at least four grabs in six straight games, and 68 or more yards in five of his past six outings. He should be considered a WR2 in most fantasy leagues heading into Week 9 against the Oakland Raiders and their leaky pass defense.

Fantasy Tip: Sanders did not seem bothered by a hip issue which had him listed on the injury report this week. He continues to look like the No. 1 receiver in Trevor Siemian's arsenal and is a solid WR2 in most fantasy leagues.

Fantasy Tip: While the injury news is a relief, the Broncos' entire offense - except rookie running back Devontae Booker - looked like it was stuck in the mud in the defeat. Sanders was doing his usual thing and creating separation, but Trevor Siemian wasn't interested in throwing more than 10 yards down the field until it was too late. Assuming no setbacks, Sanders will be a WR2 with a difficult matchup next week against the Houston Texans.

Fantasy Tip: Sanders was running on the sidelines, so the injury doesn't appear to be anything to worry about over the long haul. He has been a reliable weapon for the Denver passing game and is a borderline WR2 in PPR formats.

Fantasy Tip: Sanders has 80 or more yards and three touchdowns over the past three games, and he has looked more like the No. 1 wideout in Denver rather than Demaryius Thomas. He remains a must-start fantasy option in all leagues heading into Thursday's Week 6 game at San Diego.

Fantasy Tip: Sanders has posted 205 yards with three touchdowns over the past two games. He has 17 receptions on 26 targets during the span and has been putting up WR1-type fantasy numbers after a slow start.

Fantasy Tip: Trevor Siemian has been somewhat mistake prone so far in this young season, too, which doesn't help the causes of Thomas or Sanders either. It's hard to bench either Thomas or Sanders in any given week, but lower the expectations for the standout Broncos receivers this week.

Denver Broncos WR Emmanuel Sanders complimented QB Trevor Siemian, saying he throws a "very catchable ball" and he "can make all the throws." Sanders also said he liked the decision of anointing Siemian the Week 1 starter.

Fantasy Tip: Sanders has basically been Mr. Steady over the past two seasons in Denver, registering 177 receptions and 15 touchdown catches over that span, but owners rightfully wonder if he can keep it up with a new quarterback under center. Based on this analysis from Sanders himself, it may be more likely than not that he churns out another productive campaign, which could make him an excellent value pick based on his average draft position. This also should provide owners some more confidence in Siemian, who might turn out to be a terrific bargain as one of the latter quarterbacks selected in fantasy.

Fantasy Tip: Sanders has posted at least 1,100 yards in each of his two seasons with the Broncos and will continue to be a main option in the passing game. Sanders should be a fine No. 2 or No. 3 wide receiver in most fantasy leagues.

Denver Broncos WR Emmanuel Sanders is now the top priority for Denver after signing LB Von Miller to a long-term deal. Sanders isn't worried, though, and is staying focused on football. "I just sit back, work out and the rest will take care of itself," Sanders said. Sanders has also stated that he wants to play for the Broncos for a long time.

Fantasy Tip: The fantasy value of the Broncos' receivers dips a little bit this year with an unsure quarterback situation. Even with that uncertainty, Sanders is still a low-end WR2 consideration in standard leagues.

Fantasy Tip: Sanders is a decent WR2 as the primary deep threat for the team. The quarterback situation will have an effect on him, but he posted a 76-1,135-6 season last year with a questionable QB situation as well.

Denver Broncos WR Emmanuel Sanders is entering the final year of his contract but is not worried about his contract situation because he believes something will be worked out.

Fantasy Tip: The Broncos are trying to sign Von Miller to a new deal but likely will turn their attention to Sanders at some point. His fantasy value will take a bit of a hit because of the team's quarterback situation, but he should still be a weekly starting option in all fantasy leagues in 2016.

Fantasy Tip: Sanders had a decent 76-1,135-6 season last year, but it paled in comparison to expectations after his monstrous '14. Now he's slated to have Mark Sanchez under center, and at 29, that 2014 season could be an afterthought. He's still a solid WR2 in fantasy, but expectations should be tempered.

Denver Broncos WR Emmanuel Sanders is set to make $5.6 million in 2016, the final year of his contract. He said Monday, April 18, that he isn't worried about his contract and is focused on winning championships. "I mean this sincerely: The city of Denver has been really good to me," Sanders said. "I want to be a Bronco. I want to be a Bronco for a long time. I want to retire a Bronco. Hopefully everything works out. I'm sure both sides will come to something. We're going to see how it goes, but right now it's not about me. It's about this team and about winning championships, and that's what I'm focused on."

Fantasy Tip: Publicly that's what Sanders is saying, but privately it has to be a concern, especially since the team is expected to take a step back offensively with Peyton Manning riding off into the sunset, Brock Osweiler now in Houston and Mark Sanchez under center in the Mile High City. That's a major downgrade for a receiver in his contract season.

Fantasy Tip: Thomas has six catches for 52 yards in just two playoff games this year, and he's been plagued by costly drops throughout the year. However, he finished 2015 with 105 catches for 1,304 yards and six touchdowns, so he's still a top receiving talent. But it won't be easy against Norman, who is having an All-Pro season.

Denver Broncos QB Peyton Manning has drawn much criticism for his declining arm strength, but at least one teammate doesn't see it that way. WR Emmanuel Sanders believes most of Manning's issues have been a result of the foot injury that sidelined him for most of the second half of the season.
"It wasn't his arm. It was just his foot. Peyton's arm has always been good to me, in my eyes. He's never had a really, really strong arm. He's always been the guy that before you come out of your breaks, the ball is there," Sanders said.

Fantasy Tip: Manning's completion percentage has actually dipped from 59.8% in the regular season to 55.1 in the playoffs, but he has avoided the interceptions that dogged him throughout the first four months of the season. Another mistake-free game would go a long way in helping the Broncos upset the Carolina Panthers in what could be his final game in Super Bowl 50.

Fantasy Tip: Sanders really opens up the field for the Broncos, and he should have a few chances on some deep balls today against the Patriots. While it would behoove Denver to get their running game going, Sanders is still worth starting on FantasyScore, especially considering his recent success versus New England.

Fantasy Tip: Don't pass up the fact that Thomas ($8,100, 16.2% of cap) caught just one of his 13 targets in that game. He should have a better performance this time out, but it's still a tough draw, and Peyton Manning hasn't been his normal self all year. At a high FantasyScore price, Thomas isn't all that attractive.

Fantasy Tip: Sanders ($7,700, 15.4% of cap) has 67 or more yards in each of his past four games, including two touchdowns, and he had six grabs for 113 yards in the first meeting with the Patriots Nov. 29. If you're debating between Demaryius Thomas ($8,100, 16.2% of cap) and Sanders, remember the Pats coaching staff usually try to eliminate the top receiving threat. Do they consider Sanders or Thomas to be more dangerous? We'll find out Sunday, but last time they clamped down on Thomas and allowed Sanders to thrive.

Fantasy Tip: Sanders was a constant in the Denver offense down the stretch, posting 19 receptions for 347 yards with two touchdowns and a 24-yard run. He is a bona fide WR1 in FantasyScore for the team's first playoff game in two weeks.

Fantasy Tip: Thomas ($7,500, 15.0% of cap) and Sanders ($6,900, 13.8% of cap) have both surpassed the 1,000-yard mark this season and has posted decent numbers over the last few weeks. They will deal with a tough matchup this week but should still be starting options in most leagues.

Fantasy Tip: Sanders ($6,900, 13.8% of cap) will have a solid role in the passing game this week and is coming off two straight games with a touchdown. Owners should consider using Sanders in their starting lineups because of his favorable matchup against the San Diego Chargers.

Fantasy Tip: Sanders ($6,900, 13.8% of cap) gets a crack at a Chargers pass defense which allow 51 pass plays of 20 or more yards this season. He is a good play at a fairly reasonable FantasyScore price.

Fantasy Tip: Sanders caught four of his five targets during the game but has posted at least five catches in two of his last six games. Sanders has scored a touchdown in each of his last two games and could be a solid option for owners on Week 17 against the San Diego Chargers.

Fantasy Tip: Sanders has been up and down of late. In his last four games, he has two 100-yard games and two games of less than 20 yards. Even if Peyton Manning returns, Sanders is a high-risk, high-reward play at FantasyScore.

Fantasy Tip: Thomas ($7,900, 15.8% of cap) has struggled with drops at times this year but remains an upper-echelon fantasy receiver that can take advantage of this great matchup if Brock Osweiler looks his way often. He's a better pick than Sanders ($6,700, 13.4% of cap), but Sanders also has the talent to reward daily gamers in this one, too.

Fantasy Tip: Sanders ($6,700, 13.4% of cap) likely will receive his normal workload against his old team in Week 15. He has recorded only 36 receiving yards in the past two weeks but should have a chance for bigger numbers against the Pittsburgh Steelers since they have had problems stopping opponents passing attacks. Sanders could be a decent starting option this week.

Fantasy Tip: Hillman ($5,800, 11.6% of cap) hasn't done much with his carries in the last three weeks and faces a Pittsburgh Steelers defense whose strength is stopping the run. Even if C.J. Anderson sits again, Hillman is a bust candidate. Sanders ($6,700, 13.4% of cap) has just five catches in the last two games but is due for a breakout, and Pitt's secondary could provide him just that. He's a sneaky pick on FantasyScore.

Fantasy Tip: Sanders ($6,900, 13.8% of cap) has been up and down lately as he deals with nagging injuries. But he's closer to full health finally and is facing a Raiders team that he exploded against early in the year. Trust him to put up a good game. Daniels ($2,400, 4.8% of cap) was more appealing with Peyton Manning under center and before Vernon Davis entered the picture.

Fantasy Tip: Sanders ($6,900, 13.8% of cap) has been dealing with nagging injuries for much of the year but finally appears to be getting healthy again. He's been hit and miss with Brock Osweiler under center, but you have to think there's a good chance Sanders has a big game against the Oakland Raiders in Week 14. One of his three 100-yard games came against Oakland earlier this year. Start him with confidence.

Fantasy Tip: Sanders ($7,500, 15.0% of cap) has played well no matter the quarterback this season and has posted at least 90 yards in four of his last five games. He should see plenty of targets during the game and could be a solid option in most leagues.

Fantasy Tip: It looks like most of the core of the Broncos' offense should be good to go against the San Diego Chargers this weekend. Osweiler ($7,200, 14.4% of cap) and the passing game have a tough task ahead of them, though, as the Chargers have been a better than average fantasy pass defense. Hillman ($5,600, 11.2%), however, makes for at least a nice flex start as San Diego has been porous against the run this year.

Fantasy Tip: Osweiler ($7,200, 14.4% of cap) has looked good in his first two NFL starts, but temper your expectations in daily formats against a San Diego Chargers squad that has been much better against the pass than against the run this year. Sanders ($7,500, 15.0% of cap) had his third 100-yard game last week with Osweiler but also may struggle to justify his FantasyScore price in this matchup.

Fantasy Tip: Sanders appeared on the injury report with ankle and finger injuries, but he did not have any setbacks and he was not slowed in the least. It appears safe to trust him in FantasyScore again.

Fantasy Tip: Sanders ($7,500, 15.0% of cap) participated in a full practice Friday, Nov. 27, and in limited practices Wednesday, Nov. 25, and Thursday, Nov. 26. He should be viewed as a low-end WR1 in FantasyScore.

Fantasy Tip: Sanders ($7,500, 15.0% of cap) has had his mobility limited in recent weeks, and it's fair to wonder how effective he'll be in his first game with Brock Osweiler under center. They'll be facing a Patriots team that usually succeeds against inexperienced quarterbacks. Daniels' ($3,100, 6.2% of cap) fantasy stock is intriguing with Osweiler under center, but the young QB seems to favor Vernon Davis. The matchup isn't ideal, either, leaving Daniels as more of a deep sleeper.
